Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb Eb
Old Red was one of the orneriest yet
Bb F
I'd seen at the big rodeo
Bb Eb
He'd bite you and kick you and stomp out your life
F Bb
Old Red had never been rode
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb
Meaner than sin, wild as the wind
Bb F
That blew on the Montana plains
Bb Eb
Old Red was one of the last of his breed
F Bb
And wasn't about to be tamed
[Chorus 1]
Eb Bb
From Idaho, a young cowboy came
F Bb
To ride in the big rodeo

The young cowboy's name was Billy McClain
F Bb
And Billy had never been thrown
[Verse 3]

The greatest desire filled young Billy's heart

To ride this old outlaw called Red
Bb Eb Bb
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say

"I'll ride him or drop over dead"
[Verse 4]
Bb Eb Bb
Old Red was wicked down there in the chute
F Bb
He was kickin' and stompin' about
Bb Eb Bb
Billy dropped into the saddle with ease
F Bb
And said, "Turn him loose let us out"
[Chorus 2]
Eb Bb
Old Red came out with his head on the ground
F Bb
His back hooves were touching his nose
Bb Eb Bb
Tryin' to get rid of the man on his back
F Bb
But the man went wherever he'd go
